How do you turn off beeping sound when you put a call on hold

I spend a lot of time on conference calls and get calls coming in on the other line which I want to switch over to. The iPhone's hold feature is great for just popping over quickly to the other call and then coming back to the first call, the problem is that there is a beeping sound to the audience on the fist call while they are on hold. Is there anyway to turn this beeping feature off, I don't want to disrupt the conference call while I flip over to the second call? Does anyone know if you are on mute, does it still beep for the party on the first call?

There is no beep on the line when I place a call on hold, whether the iPhone is on mute or not (just tried this by calling my desk phone then placing the call on hold). It may be generated by the carrier, instead of the phone.
A workaround may depend on your t/c system - for example, dialing *5 on ours places you on mute in the t/c system, not locally.

  • How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call

    How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call?

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

  • Iphone 4 plays email tone in ear speaker while on phone.  How do I turn off alert sounds when on phone?

    When I am on a phone call and I receive a new email it plays the email alert through the ear piece and it is very loud and I am unable to hear the person I am speaking with.  I NEED to be able to turn off this notification when I am on a call only.
    How is this done?
    thanks

    I could, but that would defeat the purpose of what I am trying to accomplish.  The point is to set it one time and forget it.  Also, with my email tone going off I have turned the phone to silent and the email tone blares out until it is done.  ***, shouldn't turning it to silent turn it to silent? 
    What I want to accomplish is when I am on my phone the only noise out of my phone I want to hear is the other caller!

  • How can i turn of the sound when you open a new tab?

    How do I turn it off?
    Thanks in advance for any tip you guys can give me.

    That must be coming from the Windows operating system, as Firefox has one sound by default - for Type Ahead Find / Find As You Type.
    Unless you have an extension installed that added that sound feature, check Sounds and Audio Devices in the Win 7 Control Panel.

  • How do I turn off the sound when an error message pops up?

    There is an anoying sound when an error message pops up in FF. I looked in the preferences but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable it.

    Settings may have changed in a couple years in Ubuntu but this gives an idea of where to look.
    Firefox itself does not have such sound notifications.

    <blockquote>
    maybe try to disable error sound in Windows/OS Sound preferences
    not sure if FF has its setting regarding error sounds

    This is on Linux and not Windows but you are on right track.

  • How do i turn off automatic texts when i miss a call?

    My iphone is sending out text messages to people when i miss a call from them. How do i turn this feature off? I din't turn it on in the first place either?!!? 

    Are you sure you increased the caller volume? This is only adjustable while in conversation. So, while you are calling you'll see a few icons on your screen and one of them is to adjust your caller volume.

  • Can you turn off alerts for when your on a call

    It drives me nuts when my cell beeps and vibrates while Im on a call...
    can I turn off alerts/notification for when I am on the phone.

    Maybe we shouldn't have to? It seems like a very simple setting to include that allows us to silence alerts while on a call. No other phone has ever blasted my text tone in my ear when I'm talking to someone. And there's no way to silence it once it starts, I had to listen to a 10 second text tone after telling the person to hold on today. Pretty stupid that this tiny feature was overlooked when they released the iphone 4, it was available on the 3. It's become so irritating that I'm considering returning my phone and going droid.

  • How do I turn off message sound when I'm on a phone call

    I am going to go deaf if I don't put my phone on silent before taking a phone call, for fear of receiving a text message!!! How do I stop this?

    This is only a work around and not a solution to the problem. Apple needs to add an option to be notified during the call or play another, lower and softer, tone while a call is in progress. With a mailbox that blows up all day long and a phone I live on, mind you with a headset in my ear, this is a horrible problem for me. A simple change in the sound profile for this would make me happy. When will we see this? Maybe when IOS 9 since apple is always behind the curve when it comes to enhancements.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

    I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.
